Background

Preview

NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., who built Daytona International Speedway in 1959, conceived of the 24 Hours of Daytona to attract European sports-car endurance racing to the United States and provide international exposure to the speedway. It is informally considered part of the Triple Crown of Endurance Racing, with the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) president John Doonan confirmed the race was a part of the 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship (IMSA SCC) in March 2024. It will be the twelfth consecutive year it will be a part of the IMSA SCC, and the 63rd 24 Hours of Daytona. The 24 Hours of Daytona will be the first of eleven scheduled sports car endurance races by IMSA, and the first of five races on the Michelin Endurance Cup (MEC). The race take place at the 12-turn 3.56-mile (5.73 km) Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida from January 25 to 26.
